Quote:A brazen daylight robbery took a strange turn, when it was foiled by the store’s sword-wielding owners.
Security footage from Ashok Jewelers in Mississauga, Ont., shows four men attempting to break into the store around noon on Wednesday
After smashing a window with what appears to be a hammer, one of the robbers crawls in, only to be greeted by the store’s owner -- as well as the owner’s son and brother -- who charge the would-be thief with swords, swinging wildly.





They got lucky they brought swords to a potential gunfight. One of the suspects apparently had a handgun which he tried to discharge but it jammed and failed to shoot.

The laws in Canada, which lacks a 2nd Amendment in its constitution, make it quite difficult to own firearms.

Yeah. There's no situation that can't be improved by the addition of more guns.

Yeah.  There's no situation that can't be improved by the addition of more guns.

Guns are for self defense.

Yeah, that's why they predominately end up taking lives without actually providing any of said defense.

I can accept that handguns are for self defence.

AR15s, AK47s, and semi-automatic assault style weapons are making up for inadequacies in other areas.

They were when guns and a few cannons were all the government had. That day might come again, but currently it's absurd to think that a rabble, sorry, I mean "militia", could stand up against the US Army.

Militia can easily cut US army supply chains so war will be over in few months.
